Mod Redfox is a joke, basically he thinks that just because people can buy gold, it doesn't necessarily mean that they will be the best player if they do not know how to use the gold.

So what????????? It still gives them a significant advantage.

Okay so I am a little confused as to how this is supposed to help the bot problem. Can someone explain this to me?
Is the point that with Jagex selling the gold, the bot farmers won't make money and will therefore give up? I think that is a bit of flawed logic (if I am interpreting it correctly.)
Someone please halp me understand this.

Well, Mod mmg stated at the beginning of the video that he is 'proud to say that Runescape has been bot free for several months'

However, despite these contradictions it is supposed to solve the bot problem because:

People that buy gold will be getting it from players that earned their gold through PvM or merchanting or skilling, rather than buying it from illegitimate gold farmers that often use bots to kill green dragons and such.

@Mystic Monad


RWT'ing is RWT'ing regardless of who is doing it period. That of course is not to say that Jagex does not have the legal right to do so, they do, just not the moral right to do so. If they expect players to play by the rules they themselves set forth they MUST do so as well.

Thought Jagex was against RWT

Not since RuneFest2010. I bought the first rwt flagstaff for $80. Then came April 1st 2012 with squeal of fortune selling items for cash.

Wait, I think I get it Faith.
So it goes like this...
-player buys bond with real world money
-player sells bond in game for GP
-player is technically spending real money to buy GP but is doing it in a way that is not supporting gold farmers
-the player who bought the bond with GP can spend it on membership, spins, or runecoins, instead of spending his real money on it.

gold farmers lose business, slowly die out.
yes, jagex makes more money, but the gold farming issue is depleted.
economy will still be weird because of "legal" GP purchase but it will be in the way where it benefits the honest player? O_o

That's pretty much it, yeah. Your description actually made it seem quite appealing. Perhaps you should have made the video instead of Mod MMG.

However, it clearly relies on the idea that players will value the time taken to earn their gold less than the gold-farmers/bots value their time which seems highly unlikely, and they may just simply under-cut the market price of gold via bonds to retain business.

Assuming that each bond is worth 7-8m in-game which I have been told is reasonably accurate at the moment, players buying bonds for USD are paying $0.625 per million gold, and anyone that has seen the numerous adverts spammed by gold-farmers will know that they usually sell gold for $0.40 per million.
